Sylvester Stallone is really melting down on instagram

Might be time to check him in to a home

He lost me in his last rant when he said if it wasn't for Winkler there would have been another 3 Rocky's.

Law of diminishing returns, Sly.

That is a five year old article that has nothing to do with Ivana being interred in a pauper's grave.

But Ivana Trump, who died earlier this month at 73 after a fall at her home in New York City’s Manhattan, is the first person known to have been buried at the golf course, where Donald Trump and his family spend a lot of time in the summers.

Under New Jersey’s tax code, cemetery companies are not only exempt from real estate taxes, rates, and assessments or personal property taxes, but also from business taxes, sales taxes, income taxes, and inheritance taxes, according to Insider.

Brooke Harrington, a professor of sociology at Dartmouth college in New Hampshire, tweeted on Saturday that she had looked into claims that Ivana Trump’s resting place might benefit her ex-husband’s tax planning from beyond the grave.

“As a tax researcher, I was skeptical of rumors Trump buried his ex-wife in that sad little plot of dirt on his Bedminster, NJ golf course just for tax breaks. So I checked the NJ tax code & folks…it’s a trifecta of tax avoidance. Property, income & sales tax, all eliminated,” Harrington wrote, after opinions accusing Trump of being primarily motivated by the possibility of a tax break began popping up on social media.

Will Ivana help Donald Trump with tax breaks from beyond the grave?

If his original plans of building a 19 foot mausoleum on the property came to fruition, it wouldn't be a 'pauper's grave', would it? He wants to be buried there too, and the local population specifically doesn't want a monument built to attract tourists.

As for the whole thing being a tax avoidance scheme:

But, as the Guardian reports, any tax breaks likely wouldn’t apply to the entire property, as the cemetery tax exemptions apply only to plots less than 10 acres. Trump National Golf Club comes in at more than 500 acres, while the plot where Ivana Trump is buried reportedly measures about 1.5 acres, according to the Daily Mail.

The golf course is already registered as a farm (true story) so is only taxed at $6 an acre rather than $462 an acre. Perhaps the idea is to subdivide the golf course and include the clubhouse in the cemetery plot.
